Jets agreed to terms with LB Erin Henderson, formerly of the Vikings, on a one-year contract.

Going on 29, Henderson was cut by the Vikings last offseason after getting arrested for drunk driving twice in two months. He spent 2014 out of the league, but has apparently gotten his life together. Along with Jamari Lattimore, Henderson will provide depth behind Demario Davis and David Harris. Apr 7 - 2:26 PM

Teams have been hesitant to reach out to Henderson because of his two drunk driving arrests. Mar 29 - 9:51 AM

Henderson, who was out of the league last season following a drunk driving arrest, held a private workout on Sunday.
